A boy pulls a wagon with a force of 6 N east, and another boy pulls the wagon with a force of 4 west. What is the net force?
a
10 N east
b
10 N west
c
0 N
d
2 N east
The net force is calculated by subtracting the force in the opposite direction from the force in the desired direction. In this case, the force in the east direction is 6 N and the force in the west direction is 4 N.
Therefore, the net force is 6 N - 4 N = 2 N east.
So, the correct answer is 2 N east (option d).
